Go to the Burlington Winter Festival

The perfect week in February begins with mid-week skiing and riding at one of Vermont’s pristine slopes. Stowe Mountain Resort is a perfect option that’s both easily accessible from the interstate and accommodating to all styles and ability levels.

To escape the weekend ski crowds, set your compass north for Burlington where the annual Winter Festival celebrates the spirit of winter with fun activities, events and deals. Activities include Vermont's own sanctioned snow sculpture competition, a family expo with activities and crafts, live entertainment at the Boathouse, a youth music and dance performance, and more.

Burlington is known for it’s young college-town vibe and features exceptional dining options, eclectic shops, and the pedestrian-only Church Street Marketplace. After grabbing dinner, wander through the lit marketplace, snap a photo with the sculptures and hear live music at one of Burlington’s many nightclubs. Spend the night in one of the lakefront hotels on Battery St., just a short walk from the main drag, and awake to tranquil views of Lake Champlain that will immortalize the experience forever.
